BlueGunk Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 (edited) Hmm I use a 21:9 monitor! I hope the new site layout can accommodate those of us with fancy screens. At the moment I get wallpaper either side, which works well for me. Edited May 26, 2017 by BlueGunk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
